Author: R. Karl Largent
Every eleven years women and children are slaughtered by what looks like both animals and humans. Where this happens in the world varies - and most recently it has begun in a small Canadian town. A young woman anthropologist has figured out this pattern and she wants to investigate. She recruits E.G. Wages, a college teacher and writer, to document their findings and in return for his help he'll get all the material for his next supernatural themed novel. What they find is that a horrible, deformed monster is doing the killings, a creature that may be thousands of years old. Yet when sightings of it happen in different parts of the town at the same time they realize that there's more than one of them. In fact, they've been breeding in the caverns beneath the Earth. Who they are and how they came to be is surprising - and it's ultimately up to Wages, the reluctant hero, to save the day.
As with other Largent books I've read, this is a quick, fun read.
